The Team
Brian Riemer PT

Jim Leithead PT
Jim obtained his Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta in 1998. Over the next several years he continued to study and obtained post-graduate certification in manual therapy and acupuncture. In 2007 a love of the mountains drew him and his family to the Kootenays and he has been working at Evergreen PT since. Jim is passionate about helping people overcome their personal barriers so they can take charge of their own health. Expect hands-on treatment and guided exercise if you are coming to see Jim
Noelle Rocheleau PT
Noelle Noelle grew up in BC and although she left to complete her schooling on the prairies, graduating from the University of Saskatchewan in 2016, she has found her way to the Kootenays to enjoy everything life has to offer here. Since graduation she has pursued courses in vestibular therapy/vertigo, concussions, shoulder assessment and the McKenzie Method. Her treatment philosophy combines manual therapy and exercise prescription in order to help clients reach their unique goals. When she isn’t working she can usually be found outdoors whether skiing, mountain biking, climbing or hiking!
